I don't know how I got home. The courtyard door was ajar, but when I opened it, it was deserted. I hurriedly looked around the rooms and found that my mother's room was empty.
"Aniang, Aniang!" I shouted.
"Jianghu, I'm back!"
"Master!" I stepped forward and said, "Master, where is my mother?"
"Uh... your mother..." Fatty Wang just finished speaking, but his face turned red: "We... we went to Yuelao Temple today, where we... worshiped heaven and earth. From today on, your mother will live in
It will be easier to take care of you if I go to my house, haha."
My mother...is really married to Fatty Wang!
I looked at Fatty Wang's excited and somewhat ashamed face, and felt a little dazed. Although I had already had the idea of getting the two of them together as a couple, the fact that it happened made me feel a little awkward for a while.
Should I change my name to Fatty Wang "Aye"? I...
"Haha, I used to blame me for being too strict with you. From now on, we are a family, um...I...hehe..." Fatty Wang didn't know what else he wanted to say. He just raised his head and made eye contact with me.
Relatively speaking, I was so nervous that I didn’t know what to do.
This fat guy is so shy!
"Brother Jianghu, Brother Jianghu, the meal is ready!" Wang Jiajia's figure appeared at the door of the courtyard: "Ah, I asked you to ask Brother Jianghu to come over for dinner, why are you bothering?"
"Oh, it's time to eat. It's time to eat." Fatty Wang smiled and took a step aside.
I was stunned for a moment, then stretched out my hand and said, "Master, please come first."
"Oh, haha." Fatty Wang stopped refusing and returned home with a silly smile.
It was getting late, and the oil lamp on the corner of the table was emitting a dim light. The table was already covered with food. My mother-in-law was sitting sideways in front of the table, and she felt a little embarrassed when I came in.
Since my mother was pregnant, the food was rich, with meat and soup, and we talked and laughed. For a moment, I felt that we really became a family. I heard Wang Jiajia calling my mother so affectionately, but I still couldn't change my words.
, Fortunately, my mother-in-law didn’t say much.
It wasn't until I returned home alone and looked at the deserted courtyard again that I felt endless loneliness.
"Brother Jianghu." Wang Jiajia followed behind, holding a charcoal basin in his hand.
"Jiajia, is something wrong?"
Wang Jiajia looked at me worriedly: "It's quite cold today, are you okay?"
"Okay." I smiled, knowing that I couldn't hide my expression, so I had to continue: "I'm a little uncomfortable. My mother is not at home suddenly. I feel..."
As I spoke, my nose felt sore and my tears overflowed uncontrollably. I quickly took the charcoal basin and returned to the room.
"Brother Jianghu." Wang Jiajia came into the room, took out the handkerchief and wiped it on my face.
It was really embarrassing, and I let her see my ugly appearance again. So, I grabbed her hand in panic, wiped away the tears with my other sleeve, and then squeezed out a smile: "I'm fine. I'm happy. Ah.
Mom has worked hard for me for half her life, and now she has finally found her own happiness and can live for herself...I am really...happy for her!"
"Me too, I feel that Aye seems to be more energetic recently, and even his temper has changed a lot, haha." Wang Jiajia also smiled happily, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Jiajia."
I called softly and gently held her in my arms. I could feel that she had wet the clothes on my shoulders. From now on, Fatty Wang no longer belongs to her alone, and I will
Will be the one she wants most!
Her hands wrapped around my waist, tightly, like a spiritual snake coiling around me. These arms were weak but very powerful, setting a new beacon for my boat of life.
After a long time, I slowly separated from her, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Her two red lips seemed to be attached to a magnet, and my lips should be made of iron, otherwise why would they be sucked up so quickly?
?
This time I didn’t drink or get drunk. There were no accidents or impulses. The night was charming and only deep love filled the air...
Looking at the blazing charcoal fire in the basin and the woman nestling in my arms, I feel very comfortable. There is warmth in the cold winter, and there is someone to accompany me when I am lonely... Li Jianghu, you are so happy!
"It's already very late, you should go back." I gently pushed Wang Jiajia's head away: "After all, we are not married yet. If you stay here any longer, a man and a woman will live together in the same room, I'm afraid... I really don't dare
I promise you can still control yourself..."
Wang Jiajia smiled shamefully, pursed her lips, and wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Didn't you kiss me enough just now? It's all your saliva."
"Okay, you still dislike me!" I feigned anger, held her face in my hands, and kissed her deeply on the forehead.
"Okay, I have something serious to tell you." Wang Jiajia smiled and covered my mouth: "It's really something serious."
I grabbed her hand and said, "Then tell me, I want to hear how serious you are."
"When we were having dinner just now, you told your mother about helping Lin Sheng investigate the case today. The results showed that it was Yang Mosheng who did it, and he also went to the imperial envoy to confess his crime. Everything went well. However, I think you are still a little uncomfortable.
?" Wang Jiajia said, hooking her arms around my neck and looking directly into my eyes.
I couldn't help but avoid her gaze: "Where is it?"
"You're lying," Wang Jiajia said, grabbing my head: "Sister Mu said, if you don't dare to look at me directly, or if your eyes are flickering, you must be lying. This is called mind reading."
"Mind reading? Haha, Madam Mu taught you this again?" I looked at the woman in front of me in surprise. How much has this girl learned from Madam Mu?
"Hmm. How is it? Is my guess accurate?"
"I... have something, but I told you I was afraid that you would worry. Don't worry, there are still ten days left. I believe I will find a way to solve it."
"What happened? Is it because of Lin Sheng? Did he doubt you? Did he find out your identity as a spy?"
"I..." I looked into Wang Jiajia's eyes and knew I couldn't hide it anymore, so I had to pretend to smile relaxedly: "I saw Lin Sheng sneaking out and spying secretly, but I didn't expect to be discovered by him."
"Ah? Did he do anything to you?" Wang Jiajia suddenly became nervous and looked at me, fearing that I would be hurt somewhere.
"I'm fine, really. I... I promised to obey his order: for ten days, I will help him find out the other spies in Xiangzhou City."
"Brother Jianghu! You... how could you do this! Didn't we all promise to the imperial envoy and Meng Sima? We will never betray the team!" Wang Jiajia became even more nervous, as if I had become a traitor.
I touched her head: "Okay, silly girl, am I such a person?"
"You're not! But...if you don't agree, will Lin Sheng let you go? Was he the one who kidnapped me last time?"
"yes."
"Then...did he use me to blackmail you?"
I nodded helplessly.
"I'm sorry, it's me...it's me who has caused trouble for you."
I smiled and said, "Silly girl, he is a bad person and will always come up with bad ideas. But evil never prevails over good. I believe he will always find a way to deal with him."
Wang Jiajia also gained confidence after hearing what I said: "Well, I will definitely find a way to deal with him."
I just thought she was comforting me, until the next morning, I was walking aimlessly alone on the street, and she patted me on the shoulder: "Brother Jianghu, come with me."
"where to?"
"Wumei Valley."
I knew that the Wintersweet Valley she was talking about was a mountain col not far from the Qingchuan River. There were more than a dozen wintersweet flowers scattered there. Every winter, the fragrance of plum blossoms replaced the fragrance of autumn osmanthus on the bank.
I was pulled by her and ran all the way over, only to see the plum blossom bushes crowded with people. I didn't expect so many idle people to come to enjoy the plum blossoms.
"Brother Jianghu, look how lively it is."
I smiled bitterly: "I'm not in the mood right now."
"That's why I came here to relax. Let's go."
Wang Jiajia pulled me under a plum tree, and a gust of wind happened to blow. The fragrance was overwhelming, and half of the worries in my heart disappeared.
"Jiajia." someone called.
"Sister Nuanxin."
I was very surprised when Nuan Xin moved to the side and saw that Mrs. Mu was also behind her. It was just that she was dressed plainly today and did not wear any makeup, or she was deliberately looking ugly. Therefore, at a glance, I thought she was a village woman.
.
No, in addition to Mrs. Mu, there is that one...yes, it's him, Ouyang Daxia! He is wearing a white shirt today, and he is not holding a sword. His hair is disheveled, especially the right side of his face is covered, and he looks very much like Wang Jiajia.
From his previous hairstyle, we can vaguely see scars on his face, as well as on his right hand, which looks like it was burned.
The two of them are very close, and people who don't know may mistake them for husband and wife.
"Sister Mu, I brought Brother Jianghu." Wang Jiajia looked around carefully.
I also became vigilant, and when I saw that no one around me was paying attention, I was slightly relieved: "Mrs. Mu, Ouyang Daxia. Do you want to see me if you have something to do?"
"I'm here to enjoy the flowers, where are you looking?" Madam Mu pulled down a flower and smelled it, looking very intoxicated.
Ouyang Daxia did not speak.
I quickly looked away and pretended to enjoy the flowers with Wang Jiajia.
"Don't worry, no one is following. It seems that Lin Sheng is quite confident! He really thinks he has caught your weakness and made you surrender." Madam Mu walked around to another flower branch and smiled at Ouyang Daxia
With a smile, Ouyang Daxia quickly followed.
"You know everything. So what should I do now?" I pinched a plum blossom, smelled it, and put it in Wang Jiajia's bun.
"That's right, Sister Mu, think of a solution quickly. Brother Jianghu only has nine days." Wang Jiajia said in a low voice. Although she smiled happily at me, she still couldn't hide the anxiety on her face.
"What's the rush? There should be someone else above Lin Sheng, right?"
Madam Mu still asked casually, her tone reminded me of Xiao Mu. They may have worked together for a long time, and they seemed to be taking things slowly and calmly under any circumstances.
"Yes, Lin Sheng calls him Xiangzhu."
"Master Xiang? Humph! You must not have seen his appearance clearly, right?"
I had no choice but to answer honestly: "No, I don't even know whether the voice is real or fake."
Mrs. Mu asked again: "Then what help do you ask me for? How can I help you?"
"I..." I glanced at Wang Jiajia: "Jiajia was worried about me and knew that the boss... well, the boss's wife is very resourceful, so she brought me here. There are still nine days, I believe I can come up with a good idea. Please tell the boss's wife
Mu, no matter what, I, Li Jianghu, will never betray Tianyan."
"That's good. I will also send someone to keep an eye on that Lin Sheng, hoping that I will catch him next time he meets his master." Madam Mu said still calmly.
"Okay, I've been out for a while and you've seen the flowers. It's time to go back." Daxia Ouyang finally spoke.
"Ouch, senior brother, am I not pregnant? Do I have to be locked in the yard all day? Li Huichun said that proper exercise is good for the baby, right, warms the heart?" Madam Mu seemed to still have something to say, and grabbed Ouyang Da
